DRAGON™ M SERIES 1 USING DRAGON™ M The DRAGON™ M series laser gun can be used with either an OM-DRAGON™ cradle or STARGATE™ radio base station to build a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. DRAGON™ M laser guns automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull the trigger. SCAN LINE POSITION Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from the reading window. This line must cross the entire code. ÌqdbefjLÎ OK ÌqdbefjLÎ NO AIMING SYSTEM DRAGON™ M provides a programmable aiming system. If enabled, the scan line emitted from the reading window is preceded by a red spot which must illuminate the code center to get the best reading performance (see figure above, c). Once the defined timeout is reached, the red spot disappears and is followed by the scan line to start the code scanning.
DATALOGIC 2 After Dragon™ M Setup, read one of the following codes to set desired aiming system timeout.  aiming system disabled Ì$+BX0$-AÎ 300 ms Ì$+BX1$-FÎ 500 ms Ì$+BX2$-KÎ 1 sec Ì$+BX3$-PÎ READING ANGLE Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections that impair the reading performance, see the figure below. OK Not Advised
DRAGON™ M SERIES 3 SETUP DRAGON™ M/OM-DRAGON™ Stand Alone Configuration 1. Connect an OM-DRAGON™ cradle to the Host. For installation and connection information see the OM-DRAGON™ Quick Reference Manual. 2. Charge the DRAGON™ M battery using an OM-DRAGON™ or the C-DRAGON™ charger as described in this Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes 2 hours with NiMh battery models. 3. Configure the laser gun as described in this Quick Reference - DRAGON™ M/OM-DRAGON™ Stand Alone Setup. 4. Configure the OM-DRAGON™ cradle. See OM-DRAGON™ Configuration in the OM-DRAGON™ Quick Reference. or DRAGON™ M/STAR-System™ Configuration 1. Charge the DRAGON™ M battery using an OM-DRAGON™ or the C-DRAGON™ charger as described in this Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes 2 hours with NiMh battery models. 2. Configure the laser gun as described in this Quick Reference - DRAGON™ M/STAR-System™ Setup.
DATALOGIC 4 CHARGING THE BATTERIES Once the OM-DRAGON™ is powered, you can charge the laser gun’s batteries: Place the DRAGON™ M into the OM-DRAGON™ cradle. The red LED on the cradle goes on. The battery is completely charged when the green LED on the cradle goes on. After many recharging cycles NiMh and NiCd batteries may tend to lose their operating autonomy. This condition can be overcome by inserting the DRAGON™ M into the OM-DRAGON™ / C-DRAGON™ charger and pressing the “battery reconditioning” button (see below). When the above procedure is no longer effective, the batteries must be changed. To change the batteries of your laser gun, unscrew the battery cover screw, replace the old batteries with new ones, then screw the battery cover back into place. (See the following figures). NiMh, NiCd or Alkaline CAUTION Dispose of used batteries as required by the relevant laws in force. Battery cover screw +Battery reconditioning button
DRAGON™ M SERIES 5 DRAGON™ M CONFIGURATION DRAGON™M/OM-DRAGON™ STAND ALONE SETUP When the OM-Dragon™ cradle is connected and powered, configure the Dragon™ M by reading the following codes in the given sequence and follow the instructions. Note: for the numeric code selection of steps 3, 4, and 5 use the table at the end of this Quick Reference. Restore Dragon™ M Default 1. Ì$+$*oÎ Enter Configuration 2. Ì$+;Î Set Date 3. ÌIA%Î + six digits for Day, Month and Year (DDMMYY). Set Time 4. ÌIB'Î + four digits for Hours and Minutes (HHMM). Set Radio Address 5. ÌRA0RFHÎ + four digits for the Dragon™ M Address (from 0000 to 1999). All readers used in the same area must have different addresses.
DATALOGIC 6 Exit and Save Configuration 6. Ì$-?Î 7. Read the Bind code to pair the Dragon™ M to the OM-Dragon™ cradle. The reader is dedicated to the cradle. Any previously bound reader will be excluded. To connect several readers to the same cradle see the following section "Using Multiple Readers with Same Cradle". Bind Ì$+RN0$-IÎ The green LED on the Dragon™ M will blink: the reader is ready to be inserted into the cradle. 8. Firmly insert the reader into the cradle within 10 seconds, a beep will be emitted, signaling that the OM-Dragon™ cradle has been paired to the Dragon™ M, and the green LED on the reader will go off. YOUR READER IS NOW CONFIGURED TO READ BARCODES USING THE DEFAULT VALUES. 9. Configure the OM-Dragon™ cradle, refer to the “OM-Dragon™ Quick Reference”. Green LED
DRAGON™ M SERIES 7 USING MULTIPLE READERS WITH SAME CRADLE If you want to use several readers associated with the same cradle, you must first Bind the cradle with one of the readers (see previously described configuration procedure). Successive readers can be associated with the same cradle by following the configuration procedure substituting the Bind command with Join. 7. Join Ì$+RN1$-NÎ The green LED on the Dragon™ M will blink: the reader is ready to be inserted into the cradle. Complete step 8. END of procedure. CAUTION If the cradle is not Bound to a reader, its address assumes a random value which can cause conflicts and malfunctions to other cradles within its range. DRAGON™M/STAR-MODEM™ STAND ALONE SETUP To configure a Dragon™ M reader to communicate with STAR-Modem™ in Stand Alone Mode, follow the "Dragon™ M/OM-Dragon™ Stand Alone Setup" procedure substituting steps 6 and 7 with those below: STAR-Modem™ Address 6. ÌRSRÎ Read the code above and the four-digit address of the STAR-Modem™. Exit and Save Configuration 7. Ì$-?Î END of procedure. YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ BARCODES.
DATALOGIC 8 DRAGON™M/STAR-SYSTEM™ SETUP The following procedure allows configuring a Dragon™ M reader to communicate with various STAR-System™ devices such as STARGATE™ RF base stations: Restore Dragon™ M Default 1. Ì$+$*oÎ Enter Configuration 2. Ì$+;Î Set Date 3. ÌIA%Î + six digits for Day, Month and Year (DDMMYY). Set Time 4. ÌIB'Î + four digits for Hours and Minutes (HHMM). 5. Set the connection according to the length of the codes to be read: Code Length ≤240 Characters ÌRA1aÎ Code Length >240 Characters (not for systems with OM-Dragon™ as Master) ÌRA2dÎ
DRAGON™ M SERIES 9 Set Radio Address 6. ÌRF8Î + four digits from the Numeric Table for the Dragon™ M Address (from 0000 to 1999). All readers used in the same area must have different addresses. Set First STAR-System™ Address 7. ÌRSRÎ + four digits from the Numeric Table in the range 0000 to 1999 Set Last STAR-System™ Address 8. ÌRTTÎ + four digits from the Numeric Table in the range 0000 to 1999 NOTE Whenever the system is composed of a single base station, the first and last base station addresses (steps 7 and 8) must have the same value. Exit and Save Configuration 9. Ì$-?Î END of procedure. YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ BARCODES.
DATALOGIC 10 RADIO TIMEOUT After a code has been read and transmitted, the radio remains active for the amount of time set by the Radio Timeout parameter. This is particularly useful when the Host is expected to send a reply message to the gun. This parameter depends heavily on the application and is therefore provided here for system optimization according to your application. The default value for this parameter is 008 (about 1/2 sec.). This is a reasonable value for most applications, but it could need to be changed according to the following considerations: • If your application does not require the host to send messages to the gun(s), (which is true for all Wedge applications), the best setting for the radio timeout is the minimum value 001 which is about 1/16 of a second. This allows maximum battery autonomy. • When your application requires bi-directional communications, the radio timeout must be set according to the number of guns and the amount of traffic so that no host messages are lost. NOTE Setting the radio timeout to 000 causes the radio to always be ON. If you do this, the gun will accept messages from the host at any time, but the batteries will discharge quickly. To change the default parameter, follow the instructions below: Note: for the numeric code selection use the table at the end of this Quick Reference. Enter Configuration 1. Ì$+;Î Radio Timeout 2. ÌHH2Î + 3 digits in the range 000-255: 000 = disables Radio Timeout (always on) 001 to 255 = timeout from .063 to 16 seconds. Exit and Save Configuration 3. Ì$-?Î
